A-Level Sociology Theory and Methods Revision Bundle
Everything you need for Theory and Methods on Paper 3 (7192/3), and for the research methods questions on Paper 1 (7192/1), in five downloads.
What's inside
- Sociological Theory mid-depth notes, 39 pages. Ten topics, from positivism and interpretivism through to sociology and social policy. Each covers the key thinkers, the debates examiners reward, and evaluation tables.
- Sociological Theory At a Glance, 11 sheets. One sheet per topic, for quick review and last-minute revision.
- Research Methods mid-depth notes, 59 pages. Fourteen topics covering every method on the specification. Each has its practical, ethical and theoretical strengths and limitations, plus how to apply it to education for the methods in context question.
- Research Methods At a Glance, 14 sheets. One sheet per method, with exam hints.
- Theory and Methods Exam Questions and Answers, 26 pages. Thirteen 10 mark questions with model answers, methods in context explained and worked through with a practice bank, and five 20 mark essays.
Plus 15 colour mind maps across theory and methods.
That is 98 pages of notes, 25 At a Glance sheets, 15 mind maps and 18 exam questions with answers.
Why it works
Every answer is written the way the mark scheme rewards: developed points, applied to the question, with evaluation where the marks are. Every topic links to the full notes on revisesociology.com.
Written by someone who marked the paper
Karl Thompson taught A-level sociology for eighteen years and spent twelve as an AQA examiner, marking all three papers on the current specification. The notes are written to what the mark schemes actually reward: AO1 for knowledge, AO2 for application and AO3 for evaluation, which is where most marks are lost.
For teachers
The At a Glance sheets work as revision lessons and cover work, and the model answers as marking practice. For class or department use, please get in touch first.
